In this paper, the problem of the global asymptotic stability (GAS) of a class of delayed neural network is investigated. Under the generalization of dropping the boundedness and differentiability hypotheses for activation functions, using some existing results for the existence and uniqueness of the equilibrium point, we obtain a couple of general results concerning GAS by means of Lyapunov functional method without the assumption of symmetry of interconnection matrix. Our results improve and extend some previous works of other researchers. Moreover, our conditions are presented in terms of system parameters, which have leading significance in designs and applications of GAS for Hopfield neural network (HNNs) and delayed cellular neural network (DCNNs).

We consider nonlinear systems in the strict-feedback form with simultaneous time-varying input and state delays, for which we design a predictor-based feedback controller. Our design is based on time-varying, infinite-dimensional backstepping transformations that we introduce, to convert the system to a globally asymptotically stable system. The solutions of the closed-loop system in the transformed variables can be found explicitly, which allows us to establish its global asymptotic stability. Based on the invertibility of the backstepping transformation, we prove global asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system in the original variables. Our design is illustrated by a numerical example.
